hi, it would be very helpful if iptables provided some default hooks with ifupdown, such that the admin could not have to manually install scripts and config files on every machine. for example, something like this in /etc/network/if-pre-up.d: #!/bin/sh RULESET="/etc/network/firewall/iptables-$IFACE.conf" if [ -f $RULESET ]; then iptables-restore < $RULESET fi so, when a device is ifup'd, if such a RULESET file exists it's loaded up into iptables. i don't think it would be necessary to save automatically, it would probably even be a bad idea to do so. like i said, it would be very nice to have functionality like this, and it would be totally unobtrusive for someone who didn't use it. sean - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.7-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages iptables depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCKLBuynjLPm522B0RAv5YAJ9xkKvj4ApyGBqmfIcKVj202gkq3gCfSgmE w7ytBC3pIxcrWo6mf4ynC9o= =UCmy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
